Description
Spiritual Bypassing When Spirituality Disconnects Us from What Really Matters by Robert Augustus Masters, Ph.D. This thought-provoking book offers a timely and penetrating analysis of the ways in which spiritual beliefs and practices can be used to avoid dealing with painful feelings and unresolved wounds. A spiritual teacher and integral psychotherapist, Masters provides a first-of-its-kind study on how we use and abuse spiritual ideals, revealing how to identify and move beyond what holds us back from living life fully. Masters' work sheds light on the unresolved psychological issues often masked as spirituality, including self-judgment, excessive niceness, and emotional dissociation. A valuable resource for those seeking increased self-awareness and a more robust relationship with themselves and others, this book will appeal to those who have grown up with an unstructured new-age spirituality now looking for a more mature spiritual practice.
